Vintage Metal Gym Locker

Vintage Metal Gym Locker 

Several years ago, my friend who has an antique shop found several of these vintage metal gym lockers for me. I had them under a console table but had not used them in the new house yet. 

We had our lanai (here in Florida a screened in porch is called a lanai) enclosed with windows and a sliding door to our outside porch and pool. It is giving me a chance to fix up that room with all of the things I have had put away. 

It is a work in progress so I will be showing you parts of it as I get it done. The first thing I did was grab my metal basket to add some items to it.

First I added some covered books. I grab some old books and wrapped them in drop cloth material. I didn't want to glue the fabric so I taped it on. That seemed to work, at least for me.

On the books I places a couple of vintage ginger beer bottles. I got these in Vermont several years ago. I actually bought 4 of them for 50 cents a piece. Great deal!

Other items that I included were a printed sack, a fall candle ring and some vintage bobbins. I was just going through things I found in my garage.

I found so many items that could work but wanted to stay with fall colors.


I did have a white insulator that I added to the basket as well.

This is one of the items that I did for my new enclosed porch. I will show you the piece it is sitting on coming up next.

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the party. I hope you had a lovely Labor Day weekend, here in the U.S. Ours was nice, however as the name states -labor day - that's what we did. My inlaws are moving into a new place and I am painting their house. Needless to say, it is every room- living and dining room, kitchen, both bathrooms and both bedrooms. It was such a dark color so naturally, everything needs two cots. 

There are two accident walls in each bedroom that will probably need three coats. Not looking forward to that. 

I hope you have a great week ahead.

Happy Thursday!  Can you believe that it is September? We had some rain today, but not from Ida. Not even sure where it came from but it did cause temps to drop. Hubby was away for the day so I turned the air off and had the doors open. There was a nice breeze and it was so nice to not be closed up in the house. (Had to put air back on when hubby came home)

So for the first day of September, I was kind of thinking of fall. No where near fall temps but it got me in the mood. I hope all of you that are still dealing with Ida that you are safe and not getting too much rain. September is always the worst month for hurricanes and I hope it is not bad. Be safe and take care!
